Free ebook: Introducing Windows Server 2012 (RTM Edition)

Mitch Tulloch has updated his very popular free ebook on Windows Server 2012 based on the RTM version of the software.

A key feature of this book is the inclusion of sidebars written by members of the Windows Server team, Microsoft Support engineers, Microsoft Consulting Services staff, and others who work at Microsoft. These sidebars provide an insider’s perspective that includes both “under-the-hood” information concerning how features work, and strategies, tips, and best practices from experts who have been working with the platform during product development.

to MS: Why do this? There is little technical content, it wasnt wortht he download time, nor the read. Get up to speed, we need help to support your products, and you are getting worse at giving us what we need. Support books are expensive and this could have gone a long way to sending to us the message that you want us selling and supporting your products. instead- this gets deleted and we're left to muddle through.

Glad to hear that I can update my Server 2012, System Center 2012, rather than needing to download the whole programs again, as it took a lot of my monthly download limit and took a lot of configuration. Good to hear Sys Ctr 12 now thinks of itself as working with Srv 12, rather than an updated version of Srv 2k8.

Thank you so much for providing this content. I am a newbie to the Server deployment world and didn't know where to start. I took Microsoft's advice and started here. Providing an e-book makes it possible for me to study on the go and I love that! Free is the icing on the cake because not everyone can afford to purchase a book before they even try the product. I appreciate that part too!
